Hi all,I bought and I've just installed Post by Email. I have configured an email account but PostByEmail is not able to successfully download the mail. The login data are correct, because trying changing them I've the "login failed" error.I've also tried with the test account: I've sent a mail but the component is not able to retrieve it.Any ideas?

Oct 28 2011, 10:29 AM

UPDATE: Now it seems to download emails, even if it has a strange behavior: always download one mail from the server without deleting it, despite are present 3 mails on the mail box.In any case, does not publish the mails as articles.

Morover, importing all mails I've the XML error "The XML response that was returned by the server is invalid" than it stays on an infinite loop.

Fatal error: Class 'JRequest' not found in /var/www/vhosts/mediamenteweb.it/subdomains/jedi/httpdocs/libraries/joomla/session/session.php on line 453[root@95 ~]#

It's a CentOS virtual server, hosted by ARUBA, a big italian ISP.After many many tests, now it's working! I don't know how!!Now I'm experiencing problems with mails sent as html. PostBy Mail retrieves the text but it stops when find a number or an accented letter. No problems with mail in plain text.Next step: testing the attachments.

Morover, how to retrieve mail automatically on a server without cron? Is possible to have a link like "www.myserver.com/path_to/script.php" that retrieves mails without the necessity to be logged in joomla?

About attachments: setting the directory to "images/stories" I've the error "The directory exists / is writeable: NO / NO". Which is the base path of this option?

UPDATE: I set the directory to "." which is writable. I'm not able to view attachment. I send a mail in plain text with a jpg image ("fabio.jpg") and the string "[fabio.jpg]" inside the text. Result: I see the text [fabio.jpg].

I can't sell this feature to my clients

1. You dont have rights to sale or resale extension to your clients, this component is not your property! To buy working component, to say "i want refund" and after this to resale working component "to my clients" is presumptuous!

Цитат

After 14 hours of tests

2. You can work or "test" if you want 100 days or 10 years. The way to recieve support is only one - red button "Extensions Support" at top in this forum! Create one temporary admin account for us to see and resolve your problem. If requirements are achieved and component not work, i will send you money back.

3. You say that: this server is on "biggest italian vps company". And i say you that on all over ten vps servers where we have accounts (all accounts are on different companies and in different countries, we need this for different c class ip addresses) all vps companies have difficulty to make joomla working with emails, with or without mail server.

Hosting companies do not care what you do with VPS server - It is your virtual computer, they only install your operating system and configuration must be made from client - you.

Component dont work only on not well configured servers!Please, read our Support Of Paid Extensions terms and TOS. We cant configure and dont want to configure every vps server or cutom server at price of some paid extension. This work wil cost many hours and of croos is not included in price of any one extension.

1) I know that I can't re-sell your component as is or modified but I'm developing joomla websites for my clients. Can I install the component in these websites?

2) I've read that post and I've done what it says, but I haven't a particular error. When a behaviour is not fully reproducible I think some tests are necessary to identify the problem. Which are the requirements exactly?

3) I don't understand this point. What do you mean when you say "all vps companies have difficulty to make joomla working with emails"? Morover, my clients doen't have a VPS, so your component must work inside a joomla installation in a normal hosting environment. You don't say that PostByMail need a server or a vps.

You say: "Component dont work only on not well configured servers!" and "3D Web Design guarantee that all of extensions - Paid and free are working at normal Joomla configuration at normal shared hosting" so I can test your component inside a normal shared hosting (supporting joomla of course) where I can't configure anything and it must work. Am I true?

So, just give us access to see where and what, and your problem will be resolved in monday (as is described in our TOS, we dont have 24/7 support, only in working time).

Please, answer to my first question: can I install your component on websites of my clients? [NO] [YES] [YES, buying the component for each installation]

And what about point 4? You say I can use PostByEMail in normal shared hosting. That's my need. As you know, in normal shared hosting you can't configure php. I have to install it in a shared hosting with the same phpinfo of my vps (regarding the MBString section) than it must work at the first shot. Am I true?

These are the core questions for which I'm waiting for an answer.

All requirements are properly fulfilled.You say "(not only installed, must be working)": can you provide further details?I'll give you full access to the joomla installation but you should tell me what you do because I'll have to reproduce it on next installations.

1) I can't reproduce your problem with gmail. I am importing plaint text / HTML messages with or without attachments with no problem.2) The accented letters or the numbers are not special for PBM in any way. See this article in French in your site:

It has just been imported through PBM.3) The PBM uses the built-in PHP function quoted_printable_decode. The only explanation for this behaviour I can think of is:

Код

http://php.net/manual/en/function.quoted-printable-decode.php

(the second post from the bottom up). As you can see most likely this is a problem with your email system you send e-mails from. Not with PBM. You can try solving this problem by uncommenting line 446 in the controller.php (//$content = str_replace(array('= =', "=\r\n=", "=\n="), '', $content);4) I can't reproduce this problem too. If the email message is in the inbox, it is parsed everytime the PBM is run, unless the message is deleted.5) This is absolutely normal. Your content is displayed as a HTML. All (single or multiple) blank spaces in HTML (tabs, spaces, new line characters, etc.) are displayed as a single space character. Use HTML markup if you want to have some formatting in your article.6) In order for the attachments to work, you MUST specify an existing subdirectory of /images/ with the proper privileges, which MUST NOT start or end with slash[/]. PBM works fine with multiple attached files in a single e-mail message.

The errors you have quoted when starting the cron job has nothing to do with PBM but with your Joomla installation.

Today I'm experiencing a completely different behaviors! Are you sure you haven't done anything?I've sent 3 test mail and it seems to be working... I'll do deep tests to be sure that PBM works in any conditions.

I think that would be usefull to have more informations in the user guide about the attachment directory settings.

So PBM seems to be perfect, except for a thing: is it possible to have a php script (that can be launched without logging to joomla) that downloads/imports mails?

The problem was in PBM indeed. Some of the soft line breaks were broken when unfolding the message thus resulting in the extra '=' chars...

To fix this you have to add the following line right after $message = implode('',$message); on line 555 and just before unfolding the message:

I've already sent the fixed version of the PBM to the admin. Please send him an empty mail from the mail address you used to purchase PBM in order to receive the updated version.

Now please, help me to have a working link that downloads mails.My clients don't have cron, so I need to give them a link like "http://www.yourdomain.com/magic_script.php" that can be launched in the browser window without the need to be logged in joomla.

P.S. I see again your php info and recommend you to use more memory and execution time - increase memory_limit to 64 mb and max_execution_time to more than 30 seconds (60 or more ceconds is recommended to work well images import).

You have maybe some ACL component that rewrite permission rights in admin so first check this.

I dont have see this type of error anywhere. Is impossible to find where is the problem without ftp access.

Nov 2 2011, 03:07 PM

I don't have any strange component, and no one that rewrite permissions.

The instruction that fails is the following (controller.php - line 373)

CODE

JRequest::checkToken() or die('Invalid Token');

I'm using Google Chrome but I've tried to launch the command "http://jedi.mediamenteweb.it/administrator/components/com_post_by_email/cron.post_by_email.php" in firefox having a strange effect.The first time I've launched it, the result was a redirect to "http://jedi.mediamenteweb.it/administrator/components/com_post_by_email/index.php" with the error "NOT FOUND"

CODE

Not FoundThe requested URL /administrator/components/com_post_by_email/index.php was not found on this server.Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at jedi.mediamenteweb.it Port 80

I've to launch it the second time to have the error "Invalid Token".

Then I've tried in "Private Browsing" having the same behaviour: first time - redirect to index.php and "file not found". Second time - invalid token.

You have option "Publish duration" for content. This option is like options in content items in joomla. Enter some number (days) and after this number of days content will be unpublished.

Hi, oleo.

We have updated the PBM to use a more robust approach when defining the attachment's relative path. Please contact the admin in order to receive the updated version.

As for the MacOs mail, please send us a test e-mail message at test_test@3dwebdesign.org...

If you want, is possible to upgrade to pro, pay to our paypal account (admin at our website) only change (10 usd) and send me email after this to update your order.
